About Jesolo Dance Festival

The Jesolo Dance Festival is a major summer event dedicated to dance, conceived and directed by Maria Meoni. For several days, the Jesolo coastline becomes an open-air stage with training workshops, lessons with renowned teachers, and evening performances. The festival combines training, performance, and sharing, offering young dancers—from classical to contemporary—a concrete opportunity for artistic growth, culminating in the grand finale gala with schools and groups from all over Italy.

Dance takes centre stage in Jesolo's summer

The Jesolo Dance Festival, conceived and directed by Maria Meoni, is one of the liveliest dance events of the summer in Jesolo, in the Province of Venice. For several days, the city dedicates itself entirely to dance, training, and performance, with the stage in Piazza Milano and the spaces of the Palacornaro as the main venues.

Workshops, lessons, and renowned teachers

The festival offers days of intensive workshops in various disciplines—classical, modern, contemporary, as well as ballet virtuosity sessions—led by experienced teachers and choreographers. Open to children and young people, it represents a real opportunity for growth for the most talented, with the possibility of pursuing academic or professional paths.

A festival that combines training and performance

According to artistic director Maria Meoni, the initiative "combines training, performance, and sharing" and promotes dance culture. The programme culminates in the grand finale gala, which brings schools and groups from all over Italy to the stage, transforming the event into a major performance open to the public.
